Lammikko, 29, spent each of the last three seasons with the ZSC Lions of Switzerland’s National League. In 48 games this campaign with the Swiss club, he posted 13 goals, 38 points, and a plus-23 rating. Now, after three seasons overseas, Lammikko is heading back to North America.
Lammikko last played in the NHL during the 2021-22 season with the Vancouver Canucks. In 75 games with the Pacific Division club that season, he recorded seven goals, 15 points, 93 hits, and a minus-6 rating.
Lammikko was selected by the Florida Panthers with the 65th overall pick of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. In 159 career NHL games split between the Panthers and Canucks, Lammikko has recorded 11 goals, 26 points, and 188 hits. Now, he will look to improve upon his career stats with the Devils from here.
With the Devils’ bottom six needing clear help, there is no harm in them taking a shot on Lammikko with this one-year contract. At a minimum, the 6-foot-2 forward will provide them with more depth and grit, which is never a bad thing.
